كتاب رائع، انصح كل أم وأب بقرائته .. مراراً وتكراراً

This book was lovely and helpful, but a little too formulaic.

Considering your kids’ love language, and spending time trying to figure out what it is, while speaking all 5 languages to be sure and fill their love tank is necessary and extremely beneficial! This book has good practical tips for doing so, and I’m very glad I read it.

But it was too simple. The author seemed to be saying that if you speak your child’s primary love language daily, they won’t have emotional or behavioral problems. It just didn’t seem to account for sin or other hardships, despite the author being a Christian.

At the end there is a chapter on anger that I didn’t like, it was overly simplified and some of his family-wide scenarios where everyone is misbehaving and angry I did not agree that simply speaking each others love language to every member of the family was the solution.

Still, even if other sin or hardships are going on, it is trie that lavishing ones family in love in the way they primarily prefer to receive love would be helpful and a lubricant to help work tward peace.

So I would say what he has to say about love languages, good! But what he has to say about emotions, hm not so good, go read “untangling emotions” for that.

Įdomi knyga, kurią, manau, turėtų perskaityti kiekvienas (ne tik tėvai auginantys vaikus). Lengvai skaitoma. Atskleidžianti vaikų tam tikro elgesio priežastis. Taip pat gausu praktiškų patarimų kaip "suvaldyti" pyktį (tiek vaiko, tiek savo).
Džiaugiuosi, kad ją perskaičiau, nes ji neabejotinai padėjo man suprasti savo mažąją. Ir privertė susimąstyti ar tikrai tinkamai parodau savo meilę artimiesiems.
Kodėl 4 žvaigždutės? Nes vietomis norėjosi išsamesnio paaiškinimo. O ir Dievo paminėjimas (neišsigąskite, tai tik paskutiniame skyriuje) man čia visai netiko.

Maybe I've just forgotten the original Five Love Languages book but this one honestly might've been better. Perhaps I'm just seeing a lot of my own and my husband's inner child as we raise our own kiddo. This book felt refreshingly straightforward.

If you are already familiar with the 5 Love Languages Concept, the format and content of this book will be familiar to you. The difference here is that this book is written for parents to better understand how their children best feel loved.

Although the Love Languages books have been out for some time now, I only became acquainted with it myself a few months ago. I had been hearing about the book for many years and was finally compelled to take the test myself online to discover my own love language. I can't say that it changed my life much but I did find it interesting. This edition however, written with children in mind, shows more promise because it helps us to discover how to better express our love to those who are the most important to us outside of our spouse.

Although most of the book will not be new to those already familiar with the concepts, the chapter on discovering your child's primary love language was very useful. It not only includes helpful ideas on what to look out for, but also suggestions for different age groups. The book also includes useful chapters for single parents and on using love languages in marriage.

Most of the time I found myself agreeing with the authors on how to appropriately use the knowledge of love languages. However, I did disagree with them in a couple areas. Primarily in their assertion that when a child misbehaves it is because he/she does not feel loved. While this certainly may be the case, disobedience is rebellion... which is sin. The root of rebellion is not a lack of feeling loved but an overindulgence in the self. This is not to say that we don't lovingly discipline. Our discipline must always be characterized by love. However, we must be very careful to not confuse sin with anything. Regarding this, Chapman & Campbell rightfully point out that our discipline and guidance will be more effective when a child knows they are loved.

Overall I really enjoyed this book and believe that it can be a helpful resource in the parental toolbox. Used with an understanding of the human condition that leads to rebellion, this can be a wonderful way to build trust and assurance between you and your children so that when discipline does take place, the child is assured that it is for their well-being.

كتاب مميز وجميل، يمكننا الأخذ منه ليس للتعامل مع الأطفال فقط بل لتعاملنا مع الجميع، انتبه لتصرفات من حولك ماذا يقولون؟ وماذا يفعلون؟ فستعرف لغات حبهم (أي ما الذي يجب عليك أن تفعله ليعرفوا كم أنك تحبهم).

ببداية قراءتي للكتاب لم يعجبني كثيراً لكن في التوغل وقراءة المزيد من الأجزاء رأيته كتاب رائع ويستحق أن يقرأ.
لا أعلم لماذا هذا الكتاب حفزني لقراءة الكتاب المشهور حالياً (كيف تتحدث فيصغي الصغار إليك وتصغي إليهم عندما يتحدثون؟)

بعد قراءة الكتاب أتمنى أن لا يكون هناك مزيد من الغضب والزعل، لنفهم أطفالنا والجميع.

بدأ الكتاب بالحديث عن حبنا لطفلنا وكيف يشعر هو بحبه لنا؟

ثم تكلم عن لغات الحب الخمس:
١. التلامس
٢. كلمات التوكيد
٣. الوقت النوعي
٤. الهدايا
٥. أعمال الخدمة

فخصص فصل تحدث فيه عن كيفية اكتشاف لغة الحب لطفلك؟
ثم فصلين الثامن والتاسع عن توظيف لغات الحب في التأديب والتعليم.
ومن بعد ذلك تكلم عن كيفية إدارة الغضب. وبعد ذلك عن التعامل في العائلات ذات الوالد الوحيد أي دون أب أو دون أم.

والفصل الأخير الذي بنظري حتى لو بدأ به الكتاب سيكون جميل هو عن الحب في العلاقة الزوجية.

استمتع وأنا أستمع أو اقرأ هذا الكتاب وأنصح به الجميع خصوصا الوالدين.

While this book did help me discover my girls’ love languages which happen to: 1) both be the same & 2) both be different that what I had always assumed, these authors have unrealistic expectations of reality. They seem to expect that every single interaction, day in & day out, no matter what, can & should be positive & that anything less than that means you don’t love your child(ren).

Truly valuable time spent with this book. I didn’t necessarily agree with it all, and some of it was very one-dimensional, but that’s a big part of reading any parenting book - you have to be ready to read about things you may not like or agree with, and it doesn’t mean it’s wrong. For me, I spent that time thinking about what my kids need from their dad, and at times I thought about what I need and needed as a child. It’s interesting to me that I can re-parent myself through parenting my own kids. So, in the end, everyone grows.

I am really torn over what I thought of this book. While I like the concepts and I think it had valuable information I had a hard time with it. For some reason I couldn't get into the writing style. I constantly found my mind wandering and having to go back and re-read portions. The last several parenting books that I have read have been very readable so I found this hard to reconcile.

For the most part I felt like the "love languages" were well explained but in the later chapters when examples are given of putting it into action the authors would say things like: speak their love language and then introduce the discipline and then speak their love language to end the conversation. The problem I have with this is what if their love language is "gifts" or "acts of service"? You give them a gift discipline them and then give them another gift? Sew a button on their shirt discipline them and then help them clean their room? It didn't make sense to me.

My other big hang up was that the book began by saying that it's hard to determine the love language of children 5 and under. My oldest is 5. I didn't feel like this book applied to my family. Most of the examples sounded like conversations with teenagers, and yet their is another book titled "The Five Love Languages of Teenagers". I feel like I would have gotten more out of reading the book about couples and then applying some of what I read to the rest of my family.

All of this being said I still put the book on CD on hold at the library for my brother because I think it would be beneficial for him with his 9 and 11 year-old (and possibly the 7 year old too). It did bring a few tears to my eyes when I thought back to my childhood and realized why I never really felt loved by my parents because they have never spoken my love language to me. I KNOW that they love me and reading this helped me forgive them for some lingering feelings I have. After all they have no idea why I would not feel loved, they did their best.

This is getting really long. I could say more but I think you get the general idea. Valuable information, didn't love the writing.

10%-- Erk. Pretty smarmy. Not sure I'm going to be enlightened beyond the title, which is-- use the five love languages on your kids.

100%-- Well, it's pretty much exactly what the title says. It's formulaic but a good reminder to seek out the way important people in your life like to be loved.

Finished in one day.

Really makes you think about what your child needs regarding their love tank. I feel as if I’ve gained some insight into the reason my children act the way they do at times. A lot of good information and recommendations I plan to put to the test.
